Kepes

Aims & Scope

Kepes Journal, Visual Design Study Group (ISSN 1794-7111) is published by the Department of Visual Design at Universidad de Caldas.

This editorial project originated in the reflective and research results provided by the department professors who, gathered in the “Visual Design studies Group ", gave shape to the publication.

The name KEPES arises from the intention to recognize the contributions of one of the most outstanding characters in the field of design research, image and perception, namely the Hungarian Gyorgy Kepes (1906-2001).

The manifest concern to confront the concepts of design, image, communication and creation with the achievements in this context has led to consider the need to generate stable academic communities to allow the exchange of ideas in order to address responsibly the challenges of this discipline.

In this sense KEPES Journal is proposed on a scenario framed in the lineaments of scientific nature, research dissemination and reflections underway in various national and international academic institutions.
